[odf-discuss] Publicity for odfviewer

[Jerry Askew]

Your joke reminded me of a sign that used to be prominently displayed at
an, umm, "entertainment" venue on the main ingress to LAX (Los Angeles
International Airport).  The sign proclaimed "Live Nudes".  From that
point on, I always wondered what was at all of the other places.
